Having been on this site for a while, it's become very clear to me that SPW is an absolute treasure trove of creativity and enthusiasm! The poetry section is constantly filled with beautiful prose, the artist thread is full of wonderful works and overall there seems to be a certain brilliance that comes with learning to cope with the everyday woes of the social phobic...
so often in day-to-day life there's no outlet for that need to express... no place to release built up feelings and creative energy!
For this, the forums are a great asset to many, but, as I know from my own experience, it can be really hard to put yourself into words that you feel comfortable with... words, words, words.. they can be quite a frustration
sometimes it's easier and more accurate to do some non-verbal expression... drawing, sketching, doodling, scribbling with no goals or expectations. Just watching colors coming and going, lines moving at my beck and call... it can be therapeutic in ways that I have yet to experience outside of the visual arts.
There's a fantastic site for this, which lets you draw to your hearts content in whatever way you like
www.iscribble.com
introduced to me by Dronee and Anomicdeer, it's really become an integral part of my week, perfect for de-stressing after a tiring dose of real life.
I would encourage anyone who hasn't already tried it to do so
If nothing else, you could think of it as self directed art-therapy... or, maybe more accurately, a new version of chatbox with a bunch of crazy colored lines flying around in place of text
hope to see you on there!
yours truly,
Hippie
